Kevin Archer Contracting are professional Farm Dairy Effluent (FDE) Pond Developers.
Kevin Archer constructs FDE ponds to the highest standards to store effluent in situations where irrigation is not possible or needs to be controlled.
Kevin Archer has built countless dams & ponds over the years and more than a dozen Farm Dairy Effluent Ponds. In 2013 he completed the Dairy NZ FDE Pond Design & Construction Course.
The benefits of a well built effluent pond are widely recognised within the industry and our experience in Dairy Farming means we know how to build ponds ( NZ Dairy FDE Pond Design & Construction Farmers Guide )
Constructing effluent ponds requires a high level of expertise in order to meet regulatory requirements. We build ponds that can be maintained and will be operational for many years to come. We work closely with farmers, engineeers, and effluent pond lining contractors to prepare and finish the pond to meet industry standards.
If you are conisdering employing our services we suggest involving us at the planning stage. Our understanding and knowledge of; Dairy Farming, local land forms, soil structure, earthmoving and effluent management requirements can greatly reduce both the risk on inappropriate design and maximise the longevity of the finished pond.
If you are considering building a pond we can visit your property to discuss locations and assist in pretesting soil structure.
